You know what it’s like: you’re dropped in a nameless underworld populated by shadows, skeletons and menacing merchants, with nothing but a companion to help you figure out what’s going on, how to proceed, and who you are. A companion to whom you’re attached by a red rope.

It’s a situation Phil and Joel have found themselves in for weeks now as they tackle indie puzzler Red Rope: Don’t Fall Behind, and they’re not much closer to figuring out the answers. But they are making progress. Slow – and, crucially, enjoyable – progress.

Episode four of our let’s play series is above, and the first three instalments are just below. How convenient.
